Chapter 2865 - 2868: The Role of the War Array Master

Chapter 2865: Chapter 2868: The Role of the War Array Master

The crowd of generals dispersed, preparing for tomorrow’s battle.

Si Wencheng and others leaped beside Jiang Chen.

"Aren’t you six going to check on your family legions?"

Jiang Chen glanced at everyone, looking at Tang Jie and the other five.

"What’s there to see? They’re boring. Among all the legions on this battlefield, yours is the most interesting!"

Tang Jie replied with a light chuckle.

"Jiang Chen, tomorrow I want to join the Blade Legion in battle!"

Si Huang’er suddenly spoke up.

Everyone was stunned, surprised to look at Si Huang’er.

"I want to experience the atmosphere of the Blade Legion."

Si Huang’er explained, "I know you can’t stay in one battle zone. I want to feel what it’s like with the Blade Legion, to see how I can build an invincible legion like yours!"

"This..."

Jiang Chen hesitated, gently shaking his head: "Little Princess, I can’t promise you that."

"Why?"

Si Huang’er looked at Jiang Chen, full of confusion.

"You would become our burden!"

Jiang Chen said straightforwardly.

Hearing this, Si Huang’er was taken aback, her eyes showing a mix of surprise and a hint of embarrassment.

"Junior Brother!"

Yun Tao was startled and quickly reminded.

"Senior Brother, I can’t let my brothers die in vain just because of what she wants to do!"

Jiang Chen glanced at Yun Tao, then turned to Si Huang’er: "Little Princess, after tomorrow’s battle begins, you can watch first. If you think you can keep up with us, you can join us then."

At this, Jiang Chen changed his tone:

"But I need to make it clear in advance, once on the battlefield, you are no longer a princess, just a soldier, no different from any other soldier. If you encounter danger, someone will rescue you, and when others encounter danger, someone will rescue them too. But when the cost of saving you is greater than saving others, I will choose to save others first!"

Si Wencheng’s face changed, and he lightly frowned: "Jiang Chen, what do you mean by that?"

"Literally!"

Jiang Chen spoke calmly, pausing for a moment, then changed the subject: "Actually, there’s no need to say more. In the Blade Legion, no one expects to be rescued by others, because everyone needs to learn to self-rescue first, otherwise, if they’re dead, they’re dead!"

"What do you mean?"

Si Huang’er furrowed her brows, staring intently into Jiang Chen’s eyes.

Jiang Chen met Si Huang’er’s gaze, understanding that she wasn’t asking about personal matters, and smiled reassuringly, softly explaining: "Because the Blade Legion has always been charging forward, never stopping. Once we stop, we will be surrounded by several times, ten times, even a hundred times the enemy forces, so we can’t stop, we can only charge. Staying a moment longer means more deaths!"

"This..."

Si Huang’er’s eyes showed a trace of astonishment, her brows furrowed tightly, suddenly thinking of the previous matter, she said seriously: "You mentioned letting the Vanguard Army guard the flanks and the rear, then who will be the spearhead?"

"I’ll be the spearhead!"

Jiang Chen smiled slightly: "The seven-man battle array of Tang Jie and me, along with the Blade Battle Array, both of our arrays will be the spearhead!"

"You’re the spearhead!?"

Si Wencheng and the others’ faces all changed.

"Of course, a battle array can exert combat power far beyond its own strength and is the best choice for being the spearhead! Being the spearhead can unleash the war array master’s strongest role!"

Jiang Chen said as a matter of course.

Si Wencheng and the others exchanged glances, all falling silent.

War Array Masters are extremely scarce strategic talents on every continent, and no legion would let such talents lead people to be the spearhead, but now, Jiang Chen is saying that a War Array Master should be the spearhead, and he’s indeed doing it!

And the results Jiang Chen got were seen by everyone, truly reaching the pinnacle of brilliance!

At this moment, Si Wencheng and Si Huang’er both fell into deep thought.

"I know what you’re thinking!"

Jiang Chen smiled lightly: "You think that War Array Masters are scarce and can’t be used as spearheads to expend, but have you ever considered that a War Array Master is actually the least likely person to die?

They control the power of a battle array, which is far beyond the power of a realm. In this special environment, in the Virtual Refinement Realm domain, do you think that a mid-stage Integration Realm, or even a late-stage Integration Realm expert with our side having support, would easily die at the hands of the enemy?

Unless he’s an idiot, otherwise, he’ll be the least likely to die on the entire battlefield!"

Si Wencheng and the others were briefly stunned, suddenly realizing!

Yeah! A War Array Master controls the power of a war array, how could they die so easily, and it’s not as if they’re just leading a battle array legion to charge recklessly!

"We were wrong. All the generals of the legions have been wrong!"

Si Wencheng said solemnly.

"Don’t mistake your ignorance for everyone’s stupidity!"

Jiang Chen glanced at Si Wencheng indifferently.

Si Wencheng was momentarily stunned, brow furrowing again.

"Other generals... may not all have failed to realize this problem!"

Si Huang’er spoke with a somewhat uneasy expression.

Si Wencheng glanced at Si Huang’er, his eyes filled with confusion.

"Many generals realized this issue, but they are helpless. When they sought out War Array Masters and asked them to be spearheads, the War Array Masters would just retort, what if they die, wouldn’t it be a loss for the whole legion? Or simply refuse to be the spearhead, if ordered, they wouldn’t form the battle array."

Jiang Chen explained indifferently, "As such, no general would command a War Array Master to be the spearhead, it’s not worth offending them for nothing."

"This... this indeed is a dilemma!"

Si Wencheng nodded, acknowledging Jiang Chen’s words.

"Bullshit dilemma!"

Jiang Chen scoffed.

Everyone was once again stunned, all looking towards Jiang Chen.

"You all take War Array Masters too seriously!"

Jiang Chen glanced at Si Wencheng: "Think about it, no matter how awesome a War Array Master is, they are only the strongest at the Integration Realm Peak. Above Saint level, War Array Masters aren’t too different from other cultivators.

Yes, currently, in the Extraterritorial Battlefield under such special circumstances, War Array Masters are the greatest force, but a force that isn’t controlled, or doesn’t exert maximum power, what’s the use of keeping it?"

"If you command the War Array Master to be the spearhead, and if they refuse, you threaten them. Do you think they won’t comply?

When on the frontline, if they truly serve as spearhead, do you think they would willingly throw their lives away? Do you think they wouldn’t put in the effort? Once they do, unleashing their maximum power, even the weakest Virtual Refinement Realm Peak War Array Master can exhibit the power equating to an initial Integration Realm, right?

Plus, with so many soldiers protecting them, if they still die, then they die. What’s the point of keeping an idiot?"

Upon hearing this, everyone was left stunned.

In the Extraterritorial Battlefield, War Array Masters have always been highly valued and treated.

Yet now, Jiang Chen’s words directly subdued the halo around War Array Masters to its lowest, equating them to just being able to kill a bit more and survive a bit more, and that’s all!
